If you had told anyone 20 years ago that SpaceX would launch a rocket into space at a fraction of the cost, bring that same rocket back to Earth, and land it on chopsticks, you would be laughed out of a business meeting and a Hollywood studio. I know numbers, I understand valuations, but don't make the mistake of looking at SpaceX purely on fundamental terms. Price in the Elon Premium. Hubris is always the enemy of productivity. The person speaking is Ariane Aerospace’s CEO

I hate spaceX more than most people. Do you really think their engineers and scientists m didn’t consider a fundamental thermodynamic law?

You know the reason your Stanley or Hydroflask is so good at keeping your water cold is because there's a vacuum inside the walls of the thermos. Heat can't conduct in a vaccum. And "radiated" heat is ineffective at the temperatures processors operate at. This satellite will be like plugging in your gaming PC without a CPU cooler. It'll be dead in minutes.

Same country different realities 😔

For Educational purposes and in layman terms: - Your state Governor and LG chairman are now receiving at least double of their monthly allocations from the FG since 2023. I doubt if you have ever held them accountable on how that is being spent. - ⁠As of today, there is no state in Nigeria where one or two road infrastructure is not being built. Despite the good feelings around Lagos-Calabar, Sokoto-Badagry among others, you have chosen to ignore the realities. - ⁠Over N250bn has been expended on students loan so far with approximately 1.5m beneficiaries across the country. The recovery funds from convicted corrupt individuals were part of the funds channeled to this visionary policy as the government does not need to dip hands into such money to run the country. - ⁠More than ten health facilities were commissioned today by the President. Three oncology centers were commissioned last year and several Primary Health Centers across the country are currently being rehabilitated. Many more of these facts backed by rapidly developing macroeconomic evidence are naked to actual economists across the country and the world. I'm sure you will sing PBAT's praises in the coming future.

Gov. Seyi Makinde’s recent outburst accusing President Tinubu of "wasting time" on State Police and claiming Lagos boycotted Amotekun for political points is just a masterclass in deflection. When a Governor is grappling with rising insecurity in his own state, the instinct to scapegoat the center is predictable. Makinde claims Lagos ignored Amotekun to appease PBAT is entirely False with the President being the one of the voices that clamoured for a local security network to aid the federal efforts on Security. Makinde praises Amotekun as his glorious "stop-gap," yet the reality in Oyo is tragic underfunding. While Lagos mobilizes billions for the welfare and resources of all security apparatus in Lagos state, Oyo sends brave Amotekun operatives into forests with pump-action rifles to fight AK-47-wielding syndicates. Press conferences don’t buy ballistic vests. If Gov. Makinde cannot adequately finance, equip, and manage his own regional vigilante group, how does he plan to shoulder the colossal financial burden of a full-fledged State Police? State policing requires forensic labs, armories, pensions, and unassailable funding, not just loud rhetoric. President Tinubu understands that constitutional security reform requires meticulous legality and rigid economic frameworks, not rushed politics to distract from local failures. Before lecturing the architect of Nigeria’s most successful security funding model, Gov. Makinde owes the people of Oyo State a duty of care. Elevate Amotekun from a poorly funded political prop into a tactically superior force. Until then, the lectures remain hollow. Fix Oyo first!!!

“He is being blamed for the problems he inherited”. Are you a fool? Did they force him to come and inherit the problems??????? Are you sick in the head?
